SMX Technology Featured in TechCrunch Contributor Article
SMX (Security Matters) PLC said its molecular marking technology and Digital Material Passport Platform were featured in a TechCrunch contributor article.
SMX (Security Matters) PLC said its technology for assigning digital identities to physical materials was featured in a TechCrunch contributor article published on October 27, 2026. The article, titled “SMX is giving physical materials a digital identity,” focuses on the company’s molecular marking technology and Digital Material Passport Platform.
#Technology connects materials with digital records
The TechCrunch contributor article examines how physical materials can be linked to digital information during their lifecycle. It addresses the difficulty of confirming that a material corresponds to the data associated with it, including records related to provenance, composition and lifecycle history.
SMX’s approach uses invisible molecular markers embedded directly into materials. According to the company, these markers allow a material to carry a persistent identity that can be detected and verified throughout its lifecycle.
The article also discusses SMX’s Digital Material Passport Platform, or DMPP. The platform is presented as a system for connecting physical materials with digital records across applications involving plastics, metals and textiles.
SMX says its molecular markers can be embedded in solids, liquids and gases. The company develops molecular traceability and material authentication technologies designed to strengthen supply-chain transparency and integrity across global industries.
SMX described the TechCrunch article as its most recent media profile. The announcement also lists earlier coverage by Benzinga, the Chicago Tribune, Forbes, the Miami Herald, TIME, Rolling Stone and the Los Angeles Tribune.
The company said the coverage has addressed areas including sustainability, recycling, textile traceability, precious metals authentication, material verification and compliance.
